Euro 6 Emission Standards

[Baunton]

Does anyone know if the diesels meet or exceed the Euro 6 emissions standards effective 1st January 2015?

I assume they do but if not looks like London is going to tax us off the streets of the capital.

They are Euro 6 standard, hence the AdBlue to achieve this by reducing NOX emissions.

It also right winds me up that I have to pay a 3% Company Car tax surcharge for it being a diesel when it is probably cleaner than most petrol cars on the road today

True Dat.

I remember when I had a company car ~20 years ago I was told diesel is way better for the environment; cleaner and more MPG..which you would think is even more true today than it ever was.
Same old story though tax the motorist!
